How to Draw a Bobcat
Step 1:
Start by sketching an irregular head shape that includes the ear outlines on top, which are pointed with a slight inward curve at the tips to mimic the tufted ears of a bobcat.
Step 2:
Sketch in the eyes, which should be almond-shaped, and the nose, which is small and rounded. Add the inner ear details as well.
Step 3:
Draw the facial markings of the bobcat, which include the whisker pads, the mouth, and additional fur details around the face.
Step 4:
Extend a line from the head to create the neck and back. Then, draw a wavy line for the tail with a tuft at the end, showing the short, “bobbed” appearance typical of a bobcat’s tail.
Step 5:
Draw the front leg extending from the bottom of the neck, including the paw details.
Step 6:
Add the second front leg, slightly behind the first, to give the appearance of depth.
Step 7:
Draw a curve line starting from the tail.
Step 8:
Sketch the hind legs with a wider top that narrows down to the paws, ensuring one leg is slightly hidden behind the other for a 3D effect.
Step 9:
Connect the lines of the legs to form the body, adding curves to represent the muscular build of the bobcat.
Step 10:
Color your bobcat with appropriate shades, typically varying tones of brown, tan, and white, with distinctive markings on the face, legs, and tail.
